I am trying out the new Cirrus tool, and I am pretty pleased with it although I have only just scratched the surface so far.
My concern is this: Passwords and community strings can be encrypted, the application itself can prompt for a password when launched and SSH can be used for transfer of configurations and inventories....
All this is of course done to protect these very sensitive data, but I am wondering how safe these data will be once they have been moved over to the SQL database (or Access for that matter) and basically are nothing more than a flat text file in a standard SQL database.
I really don't know much about database security, but I am hoping that somebody can give me some pointers on how to best deal with this.
